I'm wondering if I can use my Super Champ X2 as a pedalboard in front of my Digitech Jamman solo XT looper, like this:

Guitar > Amp > Looper > Speakers/Headphones

The amp-to-looper would be a 1/4 cable from the Super Champ's line out (In the back of the amp) into the looper in (instead of the guitar straight into the looper).

So my question… Is that safe? Is the line out on the amp powered, and will it blow up the looper? Or is it non-powered and fine to do that?

It is NOT powered. It will NOT "blow up" the looper. However; I'm not sure if the set-up you have in mind will work...because the 'Line Out' requires a speaker cable...and the Looper requires an instrument cable.

Very bad idea!

The amp NEEDS a load on the Speaker Out jack or you'll do some serious damage to the 6V6 output tubes and/or output transformer.

Good call! I read that somewhere on here as well.
